| I ran 30 minutes on the treadmill yesterday. Yay!! I was always within the 7.2kph to 8.4kph range. My workout consisted of alternating 1-minute intervals like 7.2 and 8.4, 7.4 and 8.2, 7.6 and 8.0, etc. I stayed mostly in the 7.x, but it was a great improvement over my first run a few weeks ago where I could not get over 7.4 for more than a minute. Now I seem to be able to keep a steady 7.4 with greater ease, but I'm still a little over-trained today - so I'm taking a day off for recovery.My goal for the Sept. 21st 5km race is to hit and maintain the 10kph pace at some point. Ideally, I'll finish in 30min, but the race predictor doesn't see it happening. As it stands, it looks like the bf will finish 5min. ahead of me. He's faster, but hasn't run over 2.5km yet. He should (and will) reach 5km a week or so before the race. Oh well, at least I'll have someone cheering for me at the finish-line! |
